Over on Reddit, /u/Admiral_Cloudberg has been doing these writeups of plane crashes, going into their causes, the events leading up to them, and, perhaps most importantly, what lessons the aviation industry took from each one. Her most recent writeup is on Asiana Airlines 214, and how poor human factors design around the Boeing 777's automation contributed to it. Worth reading not just for anyone with an interest in aviation, but also for any engineers who design complex systems.
These posts are part of a recurring series, with posts coming out more-or-less weekly - if there's interest, I'll continue to link them here.
Glad to hear! I'll keep posting articles as they come out. Some other articles that folks here might be interested in: The Madness in our Methods: The crash of Germanwings flight 9525 - revisited,...

KidFish and I were in Ohio with a group of people when this happened. Some folks were supposed to fly home to SF that day and over the next week or so. At least one family flew to LA and drove back to SF, and there were a number of trips being reorganized to end up in Oakland or San Jose. We were there long enough that SFO had reopened, that was fine, but we were on the accident side of the plane and got a close-up view of the wreckage when we landed. Airplanes seem normal; seeing the charred, broken remains of a 747 right next to us was shocking even though we expected to see something.

Edit: Pronouns.
In the last couple months I got absorbed and read his posts of like 50 crashes in a week. I'm all for these to be posted on here.
